Thanks very much for this info.
That's what I thought. I will look into 3mf as well.
Thanks again.

Note that the old Cura (15.04 and before) had a function to "break apart" models, but this has not yet been ported over to Cura. It has been on my list of things to contribute for a while now, but so many things to do, so little time...
Thanks for the info... interesting. I would certainly vote for seeing that back in the current version!
From an automation standpoint (which was really why I was asking about this originally), I have found that changing to OBJs in my 3D app (instead of STLs) allows the use of some scripts to automate the saving/naming of multiple selected objects. So basically, select 10 objects, click 3 buttons and 10 OBJ files appear. Now drag all 10 into Cura and they can be shuffled around the print bed quickly. So this may be a current workaround for me.
Thanks again.
Mike

The STL format does not support multiple separate meshes; everything is loaded as a "connected" mesh. Other file formats do support multiple meshes, eg 3mf.
